With its six great rivers and 400 lakes and streams, Parc national du Mont-Tremblant is a canoer's paradise. It's a rich amalgam of Québec's natural and historic heritages, being the largest and oldest park in the network. This wilderness is so vast that it is home to 40 mammal species, including the wolf. There is also the Via ferrata du Diable, an intermediate activity between hiking and climbing that will let you discover the park's mountains in a way you could otherwise only dream about. Parc national du Mont-Tremblant is open year-round and has something for everyone.

The Via Ferrata Du Diable is a path that winds its way along the Vache Noire rock face, at the entrance to La Diable sector. At an altitude of 200 m, whether you're a beginner or advanced, you'll navigate the rock face safely at your own pace. You'll cross beams, bridges, and footpaths overhanging the winding Rivière du Diable.

Participants will enjoy an exclusive experience in a small group (8 pers. maximum) with a professional guide.

Hiking is a very popular activity on our territory. From a short walk to a more athletic hike, our vast network of trails will show you the real wilderness of the Laurentian Mountains. For backpackers, the network has over 82 km of trails with 10 group huts that sleep from 2 to 18 people.

Explore the park’s many lakes and rivers aboard one of our rental canoes. Our fleet of canoes is renewed regularly to offer quality, comfort and stability.

Our fleet of kayaks is renewed regularly to offer quality, comfort and stability. Oars, life jackets and boating safety kits are included with each kayak rental. You’ll have the choice between solo or tandem kayaks.

Cycle quietly on the biking trails while taking in the forest landscape. Magnificent views are provided by 8 circuits that add up to 124 km of trails. Bicycle rentals. available by the hour, half day or full day.

The park is a vast wild country and an ideal place for fishing enthusiasts. The most common species are speckled trout and northern pike. Some bodies of water also have brown trout and lake trout.

Some bodies of water are available as of 8 a.m. at the park's visitors centres on a first come first served basis. Since April 2008, to prevent the introduction of water-milfoil, the use of personal rowboats has been prohibited. Only personal canoes or kayaks will be allowed.

The rabaska, a large traditional birchbark canoe once used by Algonquian travellers is ideal for groups of up to 10 adults. Relive a little history aboard one of these vessels, and let it carry you over the calm waters of Lac-Monroe. Rental at the Lac-Monroe Visitors Centre.

What could be more easy and relaxing than pedaling along one of our lakes at your own pace with family or friends? This very stable vessel will delight navigators of all ages. Our rental centres have pédalos or two or four people, depending on your preferences.

Did you know that Parc national du Mont-Tremblant, a huge natural and protected area of 1,510 km2 shelters:

45 mammal species

206 bird species

34 fish species

14 amphibian species

6 reptile species

6 rivers

Over 400 lakes

Moose, white-tailed deer, black bear, beaver, Eastern wolf, red fox, red squirrel and river otter are among the most common mammals here. The presence of wolves, a large predator and the emblem of the park, reflects the untamed nature of the area, its immensity and the abundance of prey. The most characteristic birds of the park highlight its forest character and the importance of the river system: Common Merganser, Common Loon, Great Blue Heron, a variety of woodpecker species, flycatchers, thrushes and Preacher Birds, along with over 20 species of warblers. The introduction of live bait fish by anglers and the experimental seeding of the 1950s explain the presence of over 30 fish species. Speckled trout and the northern pike, two native species, always make anglers very happy. The songs of American toads, spring peepers, green frogs and northern frogs are familiar sounds. The garter snake is the only reptile seen on a regular basis and we are always on the lookout for the egg-laying sites of the three turtle species.

As for plant and animal life, rare species and those sensitive to human presence are being monitored. These species remind us of the importance of working hard to protect biodiversity and the development of this park, which we invite you to visit year-round.

To help you appreciate this wealth of nature, our park warden-naturalists offer many discovery activities on plant and animal life. See the program.

In La Diable sector, 43 km of ski trails are marked and mechanically groomed. The trails are spread over 6 circuits, ranging from easy to difficult. You can take a break at one of the 6 warming huts heated with a wood stove.

Day Passes

In the Diable sector (26 km), you can go snowshoeing on the eastern shore of Lac Monroe, or on the following trails: Lac-des-Femmes, La Roche, La Corniche and Les Ruisselets, which leads to La Hutte hut. The popular Centenaire trail is also accessible on snowshoes!

The Pimbina sector offers 25 km of snowshoeing trails, including the popular 10-km trail leading to Chute-aux-Rats waterfall. You can also admire magnificent views at Envol and Mont-des-Cascades or take the trail leading to Le Lariou hut and to an untouched area for snowshoers (1 km2, marked, well identified, non-groomed).

Snowshoes rental is available at the Discovery Centre and Pimbina Visitors Center .

Get yourself bundled up for the cold and go for a walk on the groomed trail running from the Discovery Centre to Lac Lauzon. This superb circuit runs by the camping areas on the east shore of Lac Monroe (6 km round trip).

To make winter hiking trails accessible to the mobility impaired, an all-new product has been introduced to Bic, Îles-de-Boucherville, Mont-Orford, Mont-Saint-Bruno, Mont-Tremblant and Oka national parks: the Ski-Vel. Designed by the Tri-Vel company, Ski-Vel can be easily adapted to people’s wheel chairs (not included) so they can enjoy exploring the snow trails. A Ski-Vel is available for free at each park’s Visitors Centre.

Period: Mid-December 2014 to the end of March 2015 (according to snow conditions)

Take advantage of the hot summer days to discover Lac Monroe and stand up surfing. Hawaiian in origin, stand up paddle surfing is an activity that combines surfing and kayaking. The board, designed for calm water, is bigger (longer, wider and thicker) and therefore more stable than the traditional surfboard designed for waves. Test your balance standing on a big surfboard, with paddle in hand. Quick and easy to learn and guaranteed fun!

The backcountry sector of Parc national du Mont-Tremblant gives visitors access to the conservation area with its large lakes and the Sac-à-Commis stream. Developed by the forestry industry until the early 1990s, this sector contains a labyrinth of old roads, which nature is gradually taking back. The forests here are young. Maples cap the summits, but aspen, white birch, pin cherry and balsam fir predominate.

Summer

The backcountry sector offers 171 km2 of forests, lakes, waterways and hills to explore. It is a vast plateau with an average altitude of 450 m, the summits peaking at 500 m. The lakes here are generally large, shallow, and warm in the summer.

You can walk or mountain bike into the heart of the sector on a rugged trail, which is sometimes blocked by beavers. It is 36 km long and forms a 40-km loop via Route 28. Two parking lots (route 28) serve as starting points. Lac en Crois is an excellent place to set up camp for more than one night.

In the north, Rivière Matawin gives you access to the water at the mouth of Lac Vaga. This lake’s sandy shores are a great place to camp before heading out for an adventure.

Forest roads and waterways are the most popular travel routes. However, visitors are also authorized to travel through the forest wilderness according to the Leave No Trace principles.

A place for conservation and education, Parc national du Mont-Tremblant is a laboratory in a natural setting. Come to class with our dedicated park wardens or welcome them to your school! The beauty, integrity, and cultural/historical characteristics of this territory have inspired six recreational/educational activities. Aimed at young people in elementary or high school, these activities will help them get in touch with their environment, make them understand its fragility, and take them through a memorable real-world experience ...

For a change of pace and to explore the deepest recesses of nature, try a canoe-camping excursion. The park's 2 main rivers, the Diable and the L'Assomption, are suitable for short or long outings. For individuals seeking calm and solitude, the Rossi, Savane, and Assomption lakes are great destinations.
